Chapter 1097: Section 686: Let’s List It (2)_2
"What if I... must save this child of mine?" Duke Mundo spoke these words without sorrow or joy on his face.
"I see..." Malin continued his sigh, and beside him, a portal appeared, from which a Cat Girl from Panthos emerged. She stood beside Malin, responding to Duke Mundo’s rudeness with silence.
"You see, Your Grace the Duke, this is my answer." Malin finished speaking and extended his hand backward.
An officer walked over, drawing his sidearm and handing it to Malin.
Malin checked the cylinder, then reversed the gun and offered it to Duke Mundo: "You say your child died in Swupsk, but have you considered that he was the true culprit in his brother’s death."
The middle-aged man bowed his head. He looked at the gun in Malin’s hand, and when he finally took it, his hand trembled slightly.
"I know you are always a father who loves his children, but in my eyes, because of your child’s actions, too many fathers can no longer see their children, and too many young ones will never see their fathers again. Your child, as a staff officer, desecrated this sacred profession, bringing shame to your family name... Duke Mundo, with Marshal Constantine and Marshal Sergei fallen in battle, I, in the capacity of a marshal, await your decision."
The two marshals were the final straw that broke Duke Mundo. He turned and walked toward his child.
"Father!" The young man looked at his father in despair.
"May your mother forgive me, child. The children of the Mundo family can all die gloriously on the battlefield, but with someone like you, as Malin said, the entire family is shamed. Tell me how I should save you, my child." As he said this, the father standing before his child extended his hand, pointing the gun at his own child. Despair covered his face: "I wish to save you, my child, but the problem is that I am not qualified to ignore the warriors who died because of your foolishness, nor the two marshals who fell meaninglessly on the battlefield because of your idea. I must give Malin a fair deal, and more importantly, a fair deal to the fallen warriors... Farewell, my child."
As the gunshot rang out, Duke Mundo’s child fell to the ground.
